Aaron drove the griffon and flew over Lake Darrowmere in a short time, arriving at the bridge on the south bank of the lake. To the south of the bridge is Aerie Peak. Yes, it is Aerie Peak where Wildhammer Dwarves currently lives.
Aaron once curiously asked Illucia why their family connected the entrance to the family territory with the mountain road in Aerie Peak. It is very inconvenient whether you want to go to Alterac or Lordaeron from this road.
Illucia's answer is that Barov Family usually does not enter and leave by this road, but by boat, so it does not care about the difficulty of this road. If it were not for the people who occasionally come to the Barov Family fortress to leave a land passage, they would not even leave this road.
"By the way, your family doesn't send anyone to guard this road?" Aaron walked on the bridge and said to Illucia beside him, "Although the road is not easy to walk, there is still a need for a guard, right?"
Illucia was actually wondering about this question in his heart, "In the past, there were two guards guarding the bridge here. Lord, did you see the wooden house just now? They should have stayed there."
"But there's no one inside..." Aaron looked back at the wooden house next to the bridge behind him. He didn't pay much attention to that house just now, he just thought it was abandoned. It turned out to be used by the Barov Family's guards.
"Yes, there is no one." Illucia's expression was not very good. As long as she could remember, there had never been a time when no one was stationed in the wooden house. Especially after the end of Second War, Barov Family's territory was only Caer Darrow. She paid more attention to the security of the only entrance, for fear that one day someone would break in.
However, there is no one guarding the bridge now, and not a single person can be seen while walking on the bridge. This gives Illucia a bad premonition in his heart, and he can't help but speed up his steps, wanting to return to his home as soon as possible to confirm the safety of his family.
Aaron could see Illucia's worry and didn't know what to say. The only thing that could make Illucia feel relieved was probably seeing her parents.
However, this bridge is not short, and Illucia is not good at traveling. Although Blink can be used to speed up the speed, her spellcasting ability is not enough to support using it too many times. As a result, it took the group nearly half an hour to get off the bridge.
Even though Aaron has seen many bridges in his hometown, he has to marvel at the length of this bridge Barov Family. Although Azeroth also has various machines and spells to assist in its construction, looking at the traces of wind and rain on this bridge, it must be at least several hundred years old. It is indeed extraordinary that it can be used normally for such a long time.
"Look, there are people at the gate of the castle." Vereesa stretched out his hand and pointed forward, where is the location of the Barov Family castle. This castle is very large, occupying half of the island in the middle of the lake. There is also a wall built outside the castle along the island in the middle of the lake. There is a gate facing the bridge. The gate is open inward, and there are two guards in armor standing at the door.
Illucia also saw the two people, walked up quickly and said hello to them, and asked a series of questions. After getting the answers he wanted from the guards, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his feet went weak, and he had to hold on to the wall to prevent himself from falling.
"Are you okay?" Aaron walked to Illucia and asked in concern.
Illucia nodded, and the expression on his face was finally not as stiff as before. "Yes, Lord, my parents are still fine."
"Everything is fine, that's good." Aaron nodded and looked at the two guards. He always felt that there was a strange feeling about these two people, but neither Truthguard's shield nor his vision as Wild God had any reaction.
This shows that the two of them have not yet become Undead, nor have they been infected by the power of death like the acolytes Aaron met before. Xal'atath also said that there are no traces of spiritual magic on the two of them, but these two people just gave Aaron an unnatural feeling, which made him a little confused.
"They are all my guests, you don't need to worry about them." Illucia led a group of people into the gate. The two guards did not stop them even after receiving the order from the eldest lady. They were just curious that their own lady had not brought any guests back for so many years. This time there were two elves and two Paladin, which was quite new.
"Miss Illucia?" Just when everyone was about to enter the castle, a middle-aged man wearing servant clothes happened to open the door and walk out. When he saw Illucia, he immediately showed a surprised expression, but This expression flashed by, and was replaced by a worried expression. Finally, he quickly straightened his face and bent down and said respectfully, "Welcome back. The master and his wife are dining in the restaurant. I will go and instruct the kitchen to prepare dinner for you... and your guests."
"Then I'll trouble you, Lusen housekeeper." Illucia walked into the castle in a hurry, even forgetting to call a few people behind her to go in together. For Illucia, who has received etiquette education since childhood, this can be regarded as proof of her emotional excitement.
Illucia didn't notice the butler's expression because he was concerned about his parents, but Aaron on the side happened to see the change in the other person's expression that could be called magic, and thought to himself that this man seemed to know something, and maybe we could chat with him if we had time.
Seeing several people, Lusen saluted them and led them into the castle. "Guests, welcome to the Barov Family's territory, please come with me."
From the outside, the Barov family's castle looks nothing special except for its large scale, but only when you enter inside can you see the financial resources of the Barov Family.
Even with a half-hearted view like Aaron, one can see that every furnishing inside the castle is of great value. It's no wonder, after all, he is a great noble who once occupied half of the kingdom, and it is normal for his family to be a bit extravagant.
Of course, these things are not very attractive to Aaron. He is more concerned about whether there are things he wants to find in the castle, such as Cult of the Damned Cultists, Undead wizards and the like.
But it seemed that the guys who were constantly producing wastewater were well hidden. Aaron only saw a few servants of the Barov Family along the way. These people did not look like members of Cult of the Damned. They were just pale and expressionless, acting stiffly, like puppets.
Although Aaron was concerned about the abnormal state of these servants, he couldn't just find someone to ask what was wrong with him, right? He had no choice but to put aside his doubts and follow the butler into the restaurant, where he met the Barov family who were dining.
